METHODOLOGY

How we scout.

The rules we refuse to break — because trust is the only moat a platform like this has.

1 · Problems first, products second

We start from what people are actively trying to solve, then find products that solve it. Never the reverse.

2 · "Best for X", never "best overall"

Every recommendation names its criterion. Best for fridge backup is not best for travel.

3 · Every claim carries a source

Specs come from manufacturer sheets. Prices are verified at the merchant or labeled ESTIMATED. Ratings are shown only when pulled from a real listing.

4 · Inference is labeled, never disguised

UNVERIFIED · ESTIMATED · INFERRED · INTERNAL HEURISTIC. If we didn't measure it, we say so.

5 · No fake reviews, scarcity, or sales numbers

We don't impersonate customers, invent countdowns, or fabricate social proof. Ever.

6 · Affiliate relationships are disclosed

Every tracked link is marked. Commissions never raise your price and never buy a recommendation.

7 · Data kills darlings

Products, categories, and content live or die by measured buyer intent — clicks, conversions, commissions. Minimum sample thresholds before any kill decision.
